Pray for and support our troops


.
In recent months, I have been in some of the major stores looking for a “Support Our Troops” metallic ribbon for my car. No such ribbons anymore, not like there were a couple of years ago. I have not seen on TV or heard on the radio any support for our troops. And nothing in my e-mail.

Have we forgotten the dangers they face? Since the surge in Iraq things have looked better for our wonderful and brave military people serving in the Middle East. We have relaxed. However they still face much danger.
Besides the roadside bombs, and the small arms fire there is very much danger for them and for us. The president of Iran has said he wants to destroy Israel and America. Osama bin laden has sought NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) weapons to harm us.

Then there are all the different terrorist factions through out the middle east. It will be easier for our enemies to attack our troops in the middle east then here at home. Our troops need our prayers and support now more than ever. Pray for our nation.
